I just find it odd that so many people talk about the whole spirit of Glastonbury, don't pee on the land, respect the farm type stuff etc, but as soon as they find themselves ticketless they soon forget those morals and start begging for an illegal way in. A bit like the good old days then when people jumped the fence even if tickets was still available , always somebody who wants to get in and will get in , good luck to em all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markian Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm absolutely gutted, just missed out on 2x hospitality tickets coz I dragged my heels and was sceptical at the price. Plus it took me 20mins to talk a mate round. Think that was my last chance :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Dansons Wig Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The Glastonbury spirit is about the camaraderie, friendship and support int his thread over the last 8 weeks - not some no mark troll coming in here telling people what they should and shouldnt do. This is Glastonbury we're talking about here. Short of fucking someone else over - you have a way of getting in - you use it. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janaka Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Anyone know how Village tickets work? Just spoke with someone who said he has a village ticket with his photo on, but he's entitled to transfer it and take other people in - hence he would take me in, then receive payment. Hmm Edited June 20, 2017 by Janaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abster Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Man I should of asked Micheal when I meet him in 2014, for a lifetime ticket instead of being star struck and muttering thank you a hundred times! I should be entitled (god hate that word no one is entitled to anything) to a lifetime ticket, my argument is its my birthday on Friday (23rd June) Micheal if you are reading this xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the poo crew post and read the following replies saying that it would be a step too far for people. I'd just like to say that it's a way into the festival! If it's too much for you then fair enough but it's great you're all thinking about what it entails. Somebody has to do this (literally) shit job and next time you're at the festival bear this in mind and try to leave the long drops in at least the same if not better state than you find them. Makes a shit job slightly better for the people that do have to do it so they may enjoy their festival too! I respect the poo crew and do my best to treat the loos like my own. Just don't want to do it ok. I'm 90% certain I will miss GF2017 now and can handle that. I'm a tough old cookie but that LD smell is a killer in cold weather.

Their tickets come with a transferable reentry voucher. Witnessed a happy ending story with one of those today here. And it is a legit way in.
